“A lot of people are coming to grips with the whole new reality of Obama on the left and Steele on the right.” – Michael Steele in interview with Sean Hannity during Southern Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans “I’ll tell you how to get our country back, folks. Fire Nancy Pelosi. And I’ll tell you how to repeal and replace the government-run health care they just put on us. Fire Harry Reid.” — Steele’s speech to SRLC“I’m the first here to admit I’ve made mistakes… It’s been incumbent on me to take responsibility, shoulder that burden, make the necessary changes and move on.” – What Steele said in his SRLC speech“I’m the last to admit I’ve made mistakes, and here is the first time I’m admitting that… It’s been incumbent on me to take responsibility (though I haven’t done that until my current tepid admission), shoulder that burden (metaphorically, of course—the actual burden has been shouldered by the staffers I fired, and by the GOP as a whole), make the changes I think necessary (though not necessarily the ones others do), and try to get everyone else to move on (which I’ve been dying to do ever since this whole mess started).” – What Steele meant in his SRLC speech“A word of warning to RNC staffers. You may want to stay away from Bourbon Street.” – Republican Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal in his speech to conference attendees
